3 Months!

3 Happy Months of Finn

Halloween

This Halloween I didn't even bother to go out and buy new costumes. We just used the ones we had from previous years. I'm betting someday they will care about their costumes and will want to pick their own out, but for now they are little dudes who don't care. Our day consisted of spookifying the house, arts and crafts, games and treats at the Blue Note, dinner with the grandparents and trick or treating.

October Photo Dump

Our month of October was full of fun and all things Autumn. Lots of apple orchards and pumpkin patches. And a wedding and visits from family.  It also included trips to the hospital for 2 of the little guys, due to RSV and breathing issues. All is well now and we continue to enjoy this gorgeous weather before that white crap comes.

Big Brother is watching you.

The Dudes

Let me tell you how impossible it is to get three kids to sit still for a picture...  not going to happen. But this is the best I could do.  Golly gee, I love these boys.

We are getting into a routine of mommy and Deacon classes and mommy and Finn classes. Along with MOPS and getting Everett off to preschool.  I prefer to have at home days, and be hermits, but it's good for all of us to get out and be sociable. 

Not much else is new around here.  People ask me if its been hard going from two kids to three and honestly, it's not a huge change. Ask me again in 6 months and I might tell you differently. For me, it was going from no kids to one that was the hardest. Not that Everett was a hard baby, but I was so used to my freedom for so long, it was a really big adjustment to care for a child 24/7.  Once I got that down, having a second and third were just added bonuses. I'm so happy with my boys, I love them to pieces... even on the days they make want to hide in the bathroom and cry. It's all wonderful in the end. 

2 Months!

My little pumpkin is 2 months old already! 

School Days

Is that a baby or a doll? 

Science Nerd Alert

Not too cool for school 

Everett is officially a preschooler! My baby is a big boy now and I just have to learn to deal. So far I think he likes school. But it's hard to tell because he won't give me a strait answer. He likes his quiet time when he comes home and if I ask him too many questions he says, MOM! Stop that behavior!!!
We enrolled him in one program two days a week in the morning for two hours. At the same time we applied for another school not thinking we would get in... and we did. So he goes to two schools. And one of them he gets to ride the bus! Which is huge for Everett! We are trying both schools for a month and if it seems too overwhelming, we'll scale back to one school. But I think, he is having fun, learning to play with other kids, and getting the structure he needs that I just can't give him at this time with a 20 month old and a newborn at home.

Because this is what happens when I'm too busy to play with him...
